A GREAT COLLECTOR 

Words few or many and no matter how carefully chosen cannot adequately 
tell the life story of James Ten Eye}? whose large and important collection of 
coins and medals hearing a worldwide reputation for rarities is about to be dis- 
posed of at an auction sale, in accordance with an expressed desire of him who 
took so much enjoyment in bringing it together. 

Mr, Ten Eyck was broad and liberal minded in all his dealings, a man of 
distinguished public spirit, a numismatist of prominence as attested by his life 
membership in the American Numismatic Society and his willingness to pay 
top prices for what he selected as gems during long years of collecting. 

The coin collection of his youth he disposed of in 1865. Immediately he 
started collecting again and continued enthusiastically until the time of his final 
illness. 

How well he succeeded in that great commendable undertaking can best be 
realized after a careful study of the contents of this catalog. 

The collection herewith offered is worthy of the reputation it has long borne 
of being entitled to rank in first place among all of its kind not only on account 
of its completeness of the gold coins of the United States series but also because 
of their superb condition. 

When one devotes the best years of his life to the pursuit and accomplishment 
of a worthy ambition as Mr. Ten Eyck did in assembling his collection of coins 
and medals and has ample financial resources for all demands then, and then 
only, can he hope to bring together a collection such as is now offered the public- 
James Ten Eyck had a most interesting career. He was born in Albany, N. 
Y., February 16, 1840, and died in his native city, July 28, 1910. From 
both his parents, his father, Visscher Ten Eyck and his mother, Ann Youngs Ten 
Eyck, he was descended from ancestors who were Hollanders and among the 
first settlers in America. He received his early education in the Albany Acad- 
emy and after graduating attended Burlington College, Burlington, N. J. He 
returned to Albany and entered the service of the New York Central Railroad 
in its auditing department. In September, 1857, he associated himself with 
Bacon and Stickney, coffee and spice merchants, and was admitted to the 
firm of Bacon, Stickney and Company, March 1 , 1865. He was senior mem- 
ber of that firm at the time of his death and was in continuous service for more 
than fifty-three years. He was also President of the Albany Institute Historical 
and Art Society, President of the Home Savings Bank, Trustee of the Home- 
opathic Hospital, Director of the New York State National Bank and Trustee 
of the Union Trust Company. He was most prominent in Masonic circles, 
having been Master of the Master's Lodge No. 5 several times and later elected 
grand master of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New 
York and trustee of the Masonic Home in Utica, N. Y. 



He always showed a great interest in the work of other collectors particularly 
the younger ones who like himself were deeply interested in numismatics and it 
it gratifying now to k no ^> that an opportunity is offered them to take from his 
collection valuable specimens and add them to their own. 

Mr. Ten Eyck's numismatic interest did not extend to the mint marks or die 
varieties. He Was interested only in completing the collection to represent the 
coinage of the United States — from its earliest Colonial period. How well he 
succeeded can best be attested by the numerous great rarities in the collection. 

It is usually customary, in a preface to an auction catalog, to call attention 
to the greater rarities. To do so in this instance would be necessary to appro- 
priate a goodly portion of catalog space. The rarities are too numerous to 
enumerate here, but it is not out of place to call attention to the rare opportunity 
of purchasing these greater rarities — some of which are here offered for the 
first time in a decade, and it may be their last appearance for public competi- 
tion. I refer particularly to the Brasher Doubloons, the 1798 half eagle with 
small eagle reverse, the Washington New Jersey cent, Washington Consiellatio 
cent, the unique New Jersey cent of 1786, with dale below beam, the Washing- 
ton cent with bust of George III, the Virginia shilling and others. 

Those who are conversant with the task in cataloging a collection of ihis mag- 
nitude, will readily realize the great amount of labor, research and careful study 
necessary for the successful completion of the undertaking. The privilege of 
cataloging a collection of this importance is one which presents itself probably 
once in a life time. No one realizes its importance and responsibility more than 
I do, and to the end that all interested be served properly and to the highest 
satisfaction, I gave myself to the task whole-heartedly, sparing neither time, 
labor nor expense in presenting this Wonderful collection in a manner which will 
be a credit to numismatic science and a numismatic monument to the man who 
spent fifty years in bringing it together. 

I want to avail myself of this opportunity to thank the numerous friends, who 
expressed their congratulations to me upon my being selected to catalog and sell 
this renowned collection. To them and to all others who receive a copy of ihis 
catalog, 1 invite your liberal patronage for this sale, and can assure you that 
whether you bid on one lot or on one hundred lots, — whether your purchases 
amount to $5.00 or to $5,000.00, your commissions will be attended to most 
faithfully. And whatever purchases you may make here I shall endeavor to 
have them always prove a gratifying source of possession to you. 

Very cordially, 




Fort Worth, Texas, 
March 31, 1922.

THREE-DOLLAR GOLD PIECES. 

Coinage commenced in 1854, discontinued in 1889. 
Coined at the Philadelphia, Dahlonega, New Orleans and San Francisco Mints. 

This Set Includes All Dates Issued Including 1873, 1875, 1876 

and 1877. 

124 1854 Libertv head with Indian head dress, UNITED STATES 
OF AMERICA. Reverse, 3 DOLLARS 1854 within wreath, 
milled edge. This same design was used throughout. Uncir- 
culated, sharp, frosty mint luster; as perfect as the day it was 
minted, and as such very scarce. 

125 1855 Extremely fine, with some luster. 

126 1856 Very fine, sharp. 

127 1857 Bright uncirculated. Very scarce. 

128 1858 Practically uncirculated, traces of mint luster. Rare 
date. 

129 1859 Extremely fine. 

130 1860 Uncirculated, frosty mint surface. 

131 1861 About uncirculated. Scarce. 

132 1862 About uncirculated. 

133 1863 Uncirculated, sharp. Rare date. 



Three Dollars Gold, 1864-1881. 17 

134 1864 Uncirculated, with slight proof surface, especially on re- 
verse. Rare. 

135 1865 A pin point nick in field before chin. Extremely fine, 
with proof surface, appears to have been struck as a proof. 
Very rare. 

136 1866 Uncirculated, with mint luster. A pin point, hardly no- 
ticeable nick on reverse edge. Rare. 

137 1867 Practically uncirculated, sharp, with considerable mint 
luster. Very rare. 

138 1868 Uncirculated, light yellow gold, semi-proof surface. 
Very rare. 

139 1869 Very fine. Very rare date. 

140 1870 About uncirculated, with proof surface. Was struck as 
a proof but through being handled, it lost some of its bril- 
liancy. Rare. 

141 1871 Bright semi-proof, nearly equal to a brilliant proof. 
Very rare. 

142 1872 Slightly impaired proof, brilliant but field is slightly 
rubbed. Rare. 

143 1873 Very fine, traces of proof surface. Was struck as a proof 
but appears to have seen slight circulation. Extremely rare. 
According to mint records, only 25 specimens were struck. 
This, however, I do not believe is correct as a larger number 
was undoubtedly struck. However, it is of great rarity. 

144 1874 Uncirculated, mint luster. 

The Excessively Rare 1875 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. 

145 1875 Struck as a proof, but the field shows evidence of handling 
and it can now be classed as about uncirculated with proof 
surface. There is a faint hair line scratch in field at forehead 
of Liberty, but this is hardly noticeable to the naked eye. The 
coin is in every respect a most desirable one and worthy of 
a home in any collection. Only twenty coined. One of the 
very rarest of all American gold coins. With record for a 
brilliant specimen above the thousand dollar mark. Plate. 

146 1876 A perfect brilliant proof, sharp, with wire edge on ob- 
obverse. Only 45 said to have been coined, but of far greater 
rarity than the 1873. Has been selling around $200.00. Plate. 

147 1877 Perfect brilliant proof. While the mint report states 
that nearly 1,500 specimens were coined, but the number 
known would hardly justify such a report. Personally I believe 
this date to be nearly as rare as the 1873, and unquestionably 
so when in proof condition. This specimen is the most perfect 
one of this date I have ever seen. It is a gem in every respect. 
I find that but very few of even the largest collections contained 
a brilliant proof specimen of this date. I believe that not more 
than about ten brilliant proofs are known. Plate. 

148 1878 Brilliant uncirculated. 

149 1879 Brilliant uncirculated, proof surface. 

150 1880 Perfect brilliant proof. Rare. 

151 1881 Brilliant proof, sharp. Very rare. Only 550 coined. 



18 Three Dollars Gold : Four Dollars : Half Eagles. 

152 1882 Brilliant proof, sharp. Rare. 

153 1883 Perfect brilliant proof, wire edge. Very rare. Only 
940 coined. 

154 1884 Light gold. Perfect brilliant proof. A gem. Rare. 

155 1885 Brilliant semi-proof, sharp. Rare. Only 910 coined. 

156 1886 Sharp brilliant proof. Rare. 

157 1887 Uncirculated, bright mint luster, just as it dropped from 
the coining press. Scarce. 

158 1888 Yellow gold. Proof, not in full brilliancy. 

159 1889 Yellow gold. Perfect brilliant proof. Scarce.

160 1879 $4.00. Beautiful head of Liberty with flowing hair fac- 
ing left. Band inscribed LIBERTY, date below; around, a

LA 400 CENTS, around which in verv small letters E. 
PLURIBUS UNUM DEO EST GLORIA; legend, UNITED 
STATES OF AMERICA FOUR DOL., milled edge. Sharp 
proof. A light, hardly noticeable short scratch in field below 
6 of obverse; partly wire edge. Very rare, and owing to 
its odd denomination, in great demand. Bringing over $100.00. 
Plate. 

UNITED STATES FIVE-DOLLAR GOLD PIECES. 

Coinage commenced in 1795. None coined in 1801, 1816 and 1817. 

The SET of HALF EAGLES, 1795 to 1834, HERE OF- 
FERED IS UNDOUBTEDLY, AS A WHOLE, the MOST 
IMPORTANT COLLECTION THAT HAS BEEN OF- 
FERED IN A DECADE. 

1795 Heraldric Eagle, 1797, 1798 Small Eagle, 1815 and, With 
One exception. ALL DATES to 1834 in Gem Condition. 

161 1795 First year and first type of issue, Liberty head with 
cap, facing right, LIBERTY above and to right, five stars to 
right, ten to left, date below. Reverse, small eagle holding 
olive wreath in beak, standing on branch; around, UNITED 
STATES OF AMERICA. Variety with top of 5 just touching 
bust. Very fine. Rare and in demand. 

162 1795 Second type. Obverse, same type as last but of an en- 
tirely different die. Reverse, heraldic eagle, shield on breast, 
banner inscribed E. PLURIBUS UNUM ; an olive branch in 
left talon and bunch of arrows in right ; a band of clouds ex- 
tending from wing to wing, sixteen stars about eagle's head, 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. This reverse while 
of the same type as the other early Half Eagles of the her- 
aldic eagle type, is of an entirely different and distinct variety. 
It is the only variety which has sixteen stars about eagle's 
head. A small die break on edge at TE of UNITED and a 
light die break on bottom of reverse. Extremely fine, sharp, 
with considerable mint luster, in fact the coin is practically 
uncirculated. Extremely rare and valuable. Plate. 



United States Half Eagles, 1796-1800. 19 

163 1796 Over 1795, over-date very plain. Obverse, as last, re- 
verse the same as the first type of 1795, small eagle. Ex- 
tremely fine, with proof surface. Very rare. High auction 
record. Over $50.00 in the Wilharm sale. 

164 1797 Perfect date, fifteen stars. Reverse, same type as last. 
Two pin point nicks in field of obverse. Variety with faint 
die break on cap and another from I in UNITED to eagle. 
Extremely fine. Excessively rare. Seldom 1 offered. Plate. 

165 1798 Obverse as last but with thirteen stars. Reverse, her- 
aldic eagle, thirteen small stars about eagle's head. Obverse, 
very fine ; reverse, extremely fine with proof surface. Rare date. 

Lot No. 166. 

The Exceedingly Rare 1798 Half-Eagle 
With Small Eagle Reverse. 

1798 Obverse, type as last, but of an entirely different die, 
stars are larger and closer, date large and compact, and 
inner circle on left and bottom portion. REVERSE, SMALL 
EAGLE as on the 1795 first type, 1796 and 1797, but of an 
entirely different die variety. The wreath in eagle's beak is 
much heavier, with two berries on right branch and one on 
left. The balance of the reverse is also of an entirely different 
die than that of any other dates of this type. The coin has seen 
circulation and bears the following nicks which do not im- 
pair the coin as much as the description would signify, but ow- 
ing to the great importance of the coin, I deem it necessary 
to mention every slight defect : On the obverse it has a 
short light scratch in field before face, two pin point nicks at 
left and one above head, the reverse edge, at ED of UNITED 
and at space to S of STATES has been rubbed, probably as 
a test; few other light scratches on reverse. The coin as a 
whole can be classed as fine. Of highest rarity. 

Mr. Adams in his book on the early gold, published in 1909, 
states that only two specimens are known. Apparently, this 
specimen was unknown to him at that time. However, in all, 
including this specimen, only three are known, one of which 
is in the United States Mint at Philadelphia, and is, of course, 
out of the market for all time. The other specimen was sold 
in the Earle sale, in 1912, where it was catalogued as "the 
rarest U. S. gold coin of the regular series" and brought 
$3,000.00. With the greatly increased interest and value of 
all early gold, this may be the last opportunity for the pur- 
chase of this great coin in the present generation and should 
bring a correspondingly higher price than its last record. Plate. 

167 1799 Obverse type as last. Reverse, heraldic eagle, thirteen 
stars about eagle's head, stars are large; last 9 in date is double 
cut. Very fine, with some luster. Rare. 

168 1800 About uncirculated. 



20 United States Half Eagles, 1802-1814. 

169 1802 Over '01, as all are. Very small stars on reverse. Hair 
line scratches on obverse, hardly noticeable. Uncirculated, 
with mint luster. 

170 1803 over '02, as all are. Small stars on reverse, but they are 
a trifle larger than on the 1802. Extremely fine. 

171 1804 Large date double cut. Reverse, medium stars, die break 
from O in OF to shield, and another break from A in STATES 
to arrows. Practically uncirculated, sharp with mint luster. 

172 1805 Top of 5 touches bust; die break at U of UNITED. A 
nick on cap, otherwise uncirculated, with bright mint luster. 
Very scarce date. 

173 1806 Round-top 6, stars on reverse medium, beak touches star 
Uncirculated, with proof surface. 

174 1807 Type as last, bust to right. Large stars on reverse. Un- 
circulated, frosty mint surface. A scarce date to find so choice. 

175 1807 New type, large bust facing to left. Cap inscribed 
LIBERTY. Six stars to right and seven to left, date below; 
reverse, eagle with outstretched wings, shield on breast, an 
olive branch in right talon, three arrows in left, E. PLURIBUS 
UNUM incused on scroll above, 5 D. below, UNITED 
STATES OF AMERICA around. Uncirculated, with every 
star filled and nearly perfectly centered. A very difficult date 
and variety to find so choice, and as such quite rare. This 
type was used to and including 1812. 

176 1808 Very fine, 5 D. large and medium spaced. 

177 1809 5 D. wide. Uncirculated, frosty mint surface. Very 
scarce so choice. 

178 1810 Small date, large 5 on reverse. Very fine. 

179 1811 Small date, small 5 on reverse. Uncirculated, mint lus- 
ter. Rare so choice. 

180 1812 So-called large date, 5 D. on reverse, small and widely- 
spaced. Uncirculated, mint luster, every star filled. A beauti- 
ful impression. 

181 1813 New type, large Liberty head with band on whicn is 
incused LIBERTY, thirteen stars around, date below. Reverse 
as last. Uncirculated, sharp, strong impression, frosty mint 
surface. Rare, especially so choice. 

182 1814 Practically uncirculated, frosty mint surface. Very rare. 
Reord over $50.00. 



United States Half Eagles, 1815-1826. 21 

Lot No. 183. 

The Exceedingly Rare 1815 Half-Eagle. 

1815 Practically uncirculated, only highest portions show 
the slightest touch of circulation, but I believe that is only due 
to handling or to cabinet friction. It is well struck and cen- 
tered, and fortunately free from any nicks or dents of any kind. 
It has an even frosty mint surface. A very satisfactory state 
of preservation for this great rarity. In my twenty years nu- 
mismatic experience, this is the first specimen I am offering 
at auction, and the second that has passed through my hands. 
The other specimen I handled in 1912 when I sold it at private 
sale for $3,500.00. One of the high rarities in this remarkable 
collection. Mr. Brown, who was closely associated with Mr. 
Ten Eyck informs me that this coin was prized by Mr. Ten 
Eyck as much as any specimen in his collection. Plate. 

184 1818 Practically uncirculated, frosty mint surface. Variety 
with faint die break connecting bottom of AMERICA. Very 
rare. Record near $50.00. 

185 1819 Large date. Uncirculated, with beautiful proof sur- 
face, nearly equal to a perfect proof. I believe this is the first 
specimen offered at auction in about fourteen years and if 
we stop to consider the number known, I believe that it is 
nearly as rare as the 1815. A magnificent specimen of this 
great rarity. There is a record of $650.00 for a fine specimen, 
sold in 1907. This should bring a great deal more now. Plate. 

186 1820 Curled base 2. Uncirculated, with mint luster. Surface 
very slightly rubbed. Brilliant. Very rare. A perfect un- 
circulated specimen in my sale of the Wilharm collection 
brought $126.00. Plate. 

187 1821 Extra fine, considerably mint luster, strong impression. 
Excesively rare. The first that I have ever offered. Record 
of $300.00 in 1906. This is hardly any guide to its present 
value. Plate. 

188 1823 A pin point nick on obverse edge, hardly noticeable. 
Beautiful uncirculated specimen with bright surface, sharp. 
Undoubtedly one of the very best of the few known speci- 
mens. Extremely rare. Record about $150.00. Plate. 

189 1824 Extremely fine, some luster ; very light dent on obverse 
edge above head. This slight defect as well as others men- 
tioned on other coins, is hardly noticeable, but owing to the 
importance of the coins, I mention them all. Extremely rare. 
Plate. 

190 1825 Over '21. .Very fine, but has few light scratches on 
reverse. Extremely rare. Record well over $100.00. Seldom 
offered. Plate. 

191 1826 An unusually bold impression, every star stands out. 
Practically uncirculated, frosty mint surface. Extremely rare. 
Plate. 



22 United States Half Eagles, 1827-181*5. 

192 1827 Uncirculated, frosty mint surface, field on obverse very 
slightly rubbed, does not in the slightest degree affect the coin. 
Excessively rare, not more than six or seven known. Plate. 

193 1828 Perfect date. Extremely fine, mint luster. Excessively 
rare. Not even in the great Earle collection. Plate. 

194 1829 Small date. Yellow gold. Magnificent brilliant proof. 
The finest of all early Half Eagles in this collection. Extreme- 
ly rare in any condition, but in this beautiful state I consider 
it almost priceless. Record of $400.00 in the Earle sale in 
1912. Would not surprise me to see this gem reach the four- 
figure mark. Plate. 

195 1830 Small 5 D. on reverse. Nearly a brilliant proof. A pin 
point nick back of head. Uncirculated, with brilliant proof 
surface. Extremely rare. Plate. 

196 1831 Practically uncirculated, sharp, all stars well struck up. 
Extremely rare. Plate. 

197 1832 Square base 2, thirteen stars. Nearly uncirculated, with 
some luster. Excessively rare. The first to be offered in many 
years. One of the rarest dates of Half Eagles. Record over 
$300.00. Plate. 

198 1833 Variety with die break connecting first star on left 
with point of bust and 1 of date. A very small scratch in field 
above eagle's head. Very fine. Very rare. The specimen 
in my Wilharm sale brought $125.00. Plate. 

199 1834 Type as last, with motto. Small, close 5 D. on reverse. 
A light small scratch on chin and one below last curl. Ex- 
tremely fine, with some mint luster. Extremely rare. Record 
over $100.00. Plate. 

200 1834 The new or second type, smaller head ; reverse, similar 
to last but without E. PLURIBUS UNUM. Variety with 
plain 4, close date, and die break connecting 4th and 5th stars 
on left. Extremely fine, with mint luster. 

201 1835 Wide 5 D.; small nicks on reverse edge. Uncirculated, 
with mint luster. Scarce so choice. 

202 1836 Curl over and slightly to left of 6; wide 5 D. Very fine. 

203 1837 Type just as last. Fine. Scarce date. 

204 1838 Curl directly over 8. Very fine. 

205 1839 New type, smaller Liberty head with diadem. Reverse, 
smaller eagle, and value spelled out, FIVE D. Charlotte 
mint, C between bust and date. Extremely fine, with some 
mint luster. Very scarce. 

206 1840 Beautiful uncirculated specimen, bright mint luster. 
Rare so choice. 

207 1841 Bright uncirculated, sharp. Very rare, especially so 
choice. Cannot find record of sale.

some luster. Scarce. 

209 1843 Extra fine, sharp. 

210 1844 Dahlonega mint, D over VE. Very fine. Rare.

Scarce.

tion. This specimen is perfect in eevry respect. 

224 1858 Yellow gold. Perfect brilliant proof. Extremely rare 
and valuable. 

225 1859 Dahlonega mint. Magnificent uncirculated specimen of 
this rarity. Sharp, with bright mint luster. By far the finest 
I have ever seen. 

226 1860 Brilliant proof. Very rare in proof condition, as but 
very few proofs were struck of these earlier dates.

UNITED STATES TEN-DOLLAR GOLD PIECES. 

Coinage commenced in 1795. None coined in 1802, 1805 to 1837 inclusive. 

Complete Set of Early Dates With the Exceedingly Rare 1793 With 
Six Stars to Right of Liberty. Also Some Very Rare Proofs. 

257 1795 Liberty head wearing cap, facing right, LIBERTY 
above and to right, five stars to right, ten stars to left, date 
below. Reverse, eagle with outstretched wings, standing on 
an olive branch and holding a small wreath in beak ; UNITED 
STATES OF AMERICA around, milled edge. Variety with 
star on left touching: hair, top of 5 touching bust. Extra 
fine, some luster. Rare and in great demand. Auction rec- 
ords approaching the hundred dollar mark. 

258 1796 Type as last but of an entirely different die, LIBERTY 
directly above bust, eight stars on either side. Reverse, as last 
but top of wreath directly under E. Very fine.. Kare. 

259 1797 Type as last but with four stars to right and twelve 
stars to left. Reverse small eagle. Exremely fine, with con- 
siderable mint luster. Extremely rare and valuable. One of 
the rarest of the early Eagles. Plate. 

260 1797 Obverse type as last but of an entirely different die, 
six stars to right and ten stars to left; Reverse, heraldic eagle 
with shield on breast, a bunch of arrows in its right talon and 
an olive branch in its left, thirteen stars about its head, band 
of clouds from wing to wing; E. PLURIBUS UNUM in- 
cused on ribbon. Legend, UNITED STATES OF AMERI- 
CA. This type was used to 1804 but this reverse die is of an 
entirely different than any other reverse die of any other date 
Eagle. The stars on obverse are small and those of reverse 
almost smaller than on any other date. Uncirculated, slightly 
chafed on obverse, but brilliant on reverse. Rare. 



United States Eagles, 1798-18U5. 25 

261 1798 Over '97, four stars to right and nine stars to left. Faint 
die break on obverse through L. Very fine, reverse is ex- 
tremely fine, well centered and good strong impression. Ex- 
tremely rare. The specimen in my Wilharm sale brought $105. 
Plate. 

262 1798 Over '97. The exceedingly rare variety with six stars to 
right of Liberty and seven to left. An entirely different die 
than preceeding lot. 1 of date almost touches hair and the 7 
is more distinct under the 8. Reverse, as last. Strictly 
fine. Exceedingly rare. The first that I have ever offered 
either at auction or at private sale. I believe this variety to 
be at least twenty times as rare as lot 261. Last record, made 
in 1912, for an uncirculated specimen was $400.00. Plate. 

263 1799 Five stars to right, eight to left. Variety with unusu- 
ally large stars on obverse and small stars on reverse. Prac- 
tically uncirculated, with mint luster, every star filled, which is 
quite unusual for this variety. Rare so choice.

luster. In fact the coin is practically uncirculated. 

265 1801 Sharp uncirculated. Obverse very slightly chafed. Re- 
verse, bold with fine frosty mint sufrace.

PRIVATE, PIONEER and TERRITORIAL GOLD COINS. 

These coins were issued by Assayers, Bankers and Companies during 
the early days of the West; also in the '30's in the Carolinas and Georgia. 
While these coins are not legal coinage, they were readily accepted and 
passed current at that time when there was a pressing need of money with 
which to transact the business of the country. Such coinage is now prohibited. 

The rarity of these coins is due to both to the limited number ofl speci- 
mens struck and to the greater number that have since been re-melted. 

While Mr. Ten Eyck did not indulge his interests in the 
Pioneer series to a very large extent, there are here offered 
however specimens of much interest and a few of great rarity, 
such as the Wass M'olitor slug, the Mormon "Twenty" and the 
Baldwin "Ten."

WASS MOLITOR & CO. 
Round Fifty-Dollar Gold Piece. 

350 1855 $50.00. Small Liberty head facing to left, date below, 
thirteen large six-pointed stars. Reverse, wreath enclosing 
50 DOLLARS, small scroll above on which 900 THOUS. 
Around all, WASS MOLITOR & Co., SAN FRANCISCO 
CALIFORNIA. Milled edge. Round. This rare and inter- 
esting coin is one of the best that has ever passed through my 
hands. Usually the reverse is always weak so that the word 
DOLLARS is hardly visible. This is an evenly struck and per- 
fectly centered specimen with but few slight immaterial nicks. 
The coin can be classed as very fine. Extremely rare and val- 
uable. In great demand. Plate. 

AUGUSTUS HUMBERT. 
Fifty-Dollar Gold Pieces. 

351 1851 $50.00. The first type. Defiant eagle with shield and 
three arrows in right talon, holding in beak a ribbon in- 
scribed LIBERTY; above, a scroll on which is inscribed 880 
THOUS. 50 D. C. below. UNITED STATES OF AMER- 
ICA. Reverse, engine turned design with target in center. 
Edge lettered, AUGUSTUS HUMBERT UNITED STATES 
ASSAYER OF GOLD CALIFORNIA 1851. The lettering is 
so arranged that the date appears on right of eagle instead of 
below. Strictly fine ; unusual small immaterial nicks but is 
free from any serious nicks or dents. Above the average of 
this rare coin. Plate. 

352 1851 $50.00. Eagle with shield and ribbon as on last, scroll 
887 THOUS. Legend, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 
FIFTY DOLLS, within circle around which, in very small 
letters, the same inscription as is on the edge of the preceding 
lot. Milled edge. A pin point nick on obverse edge, otherwise 
the coin can be classed as very nearly uncirculated, the reverse 
has considerable mint luster. By far one of the best specimens 
of this coin I have ever handled, and as such rare and valuable.

BALDWIN & CO. 
The Excessively Rare Ten-Dollars With Liberty-Head. 

355 1851 $10.00. Liberty head facing to left, diadem inscribed 
BALDWIN & Co., date below, thirteen six-pointed stars. Re- 
verse, eagle with upraised wings, shield on breast, an olive 
branch in right talon and three arrows in left; around, S. M. 
V., (Standard Mint Value) CALIFORNIA GOLD. A small 
die break on obverse edge at fourth star from left. The ob- 
verse can be classed very fine for coin ; the reverse as strictly 
fine for this piece, as they were all struck rather weak, but 
this specimen shows every letter and figure and the evidence of 
circulation is evenly distributed. Also, fortunately, it is free 
from any nicks or dents. Of excessive rarity. I doubt if more 
than five or six specimens are known. Out of the goodly num- 
ber of great collections offered in the past twenty years, 1 
find only one contained a specimen of this rarity. This was 
the Ulex sale in 1902, where it brought $300.00. Also Shinkle 
lists one at $750.00. This amount of course is no guide of 
the present value of this great rarity. In the past fifteen years 
I have handled no less than about $100,000.00 worth of Pioneer 
gold, and this is the first specimen of the Baldwin Ten of this 
type that has passed through my hands. Plate.

356 1849 $10.00 Same type as the preceding coin, MOFFAT 
& Co. on diadem. Reverse, as last. Very good. Rare.

AMERICAN GOLD COINS of the COLONIAL PERIOD 

NEW YORK 
THE COINAGE OF EPHRAIM BRASHER 

Lot No. 374. 
THE CELEBRATED BRASHER DOUBLOON! 

1787 Brasher's Celebrated Doubloon. Obverse; radiant sun 
over a range of mountains, sea in foreground, below which, 
in small letters, is the name BRASHER, all within a circle of 
beads or pellets: Around, NOVA * EBORACA * COLUM- 
BIA * EXCELSIOR *. Reverse; an olive wreath enclosing 
an heraldic eagle with U. S. shield on breast ; an olive branch 
in right talon and a bunch of arrows in left ; thirteen five- 
pointed stars about its head, six on right, seven on left ; E B 
stamped in an horizontal oval punchmark on right wing. 
Around wreath, UNUM * E * PLURIBUS * 1787. Edge 
and borders plain. GOLD. Weight 408^4 Grs. Size 30 mm. 
Crosby figure 65, Page 322. Plate IX., No. 24. Only six 
known ; four others of this type and one with E B stamped in 
center. About uncirculated, with considerable mint luster, and 
partly raised borders. A pin-point nick on upper edge. Pur- 
chased by Mr. Ten Eyck at private sale from the James G. 
Mills Collection. Originally from the famous Davis Collec- 
tion, lot No. 2342, sold 1889, where it was cataloged as — "evenly 
struck impression, barely touched by circulation ; excelling any 
of the five known that we have seen". The box in which Mr. 
Ten Eyck kept this great rarity is marked "Brasher Doubloon. 
Finest known. Davis Sale". It is also interesting to note that 
the Brasher Doubloon which was sold in the Parmelee Sale, 
1890, was described as follows ; "Very fine, barely touched by 
circulation — and nearly as fine as that in the Davis Sale", re- 
ferring to the identical specimen now here offered. Plate. 

This celebrated coin has the unusual distinctive importance 
of being rightfully included in the American Colonial Series 
and, as it is the first issue of a private gold coinage, is also 
included in that important series. For historical interest and 
numismatic rarity, this great coin is second to none. It is 
rightfully recognized as one of the greatest numismatic rarities 
of the world. As the other five of the six known specimens 
are in all probability out of the market for all time, the one 
offered here is undoubtedly the only purchasable one. It 
should, therefore, and I believe will, realize a price in keep- 
ing with its great rarity and value. 



33 

Lot No. 375. 
THE SPANISH DOUBLOON COINED BY BRASHER. 

This is one of only two specimens known. 

It is here offered at auction for the first time. 

1742 Doubloon. Obverse; two columns, representing the pil- 
lars of Hercules, each surmounted by a fleur de lis. A floral or- 
nament above. Legend, in three lines, L . 8 . V | P . V . A | 
7.4.2. Below the columns are lines representing the 
sea; below these is the word BRASHER, not stamped in but 
struck with the coin. (This part of the design — the sea and 
the word BRASHER — is similar to the same general idea 
as on the Brasher Doubloon of 1787). All within a large circle 
of clots, around which is portions of legend, which on the only 
other known specimen can be made out as PHILIP V. D. G. 
H. REX. ANO 17 (00, 03, or 80). Reverse, cross of Jerusa- 
lem, with castles and lions in quarters. In the center is E B 
counterstamped. (This E B counterstamp is the same type 
as found counterstamped on some of the early Portuguese and 
English gold coins, and similar to the E B on the Doubloon 
of 1787). Legend, around circle of pellets, HISPANIARUM 
ET IND REX. This specimen has been clipped down to 
nearly the border of pellets so that the outer legend does not 
show. GOLD. Size 27 mm. Weight 408 Grs. Few light, 
hardly noticeable scratches. Very good to fine. Excessively 
rare and of great historical and numismatic interest. Only 
two specimens known ! Plate. 

As is usually the case with every newly discovered rarity, 
there is usually some discussion as to its origin, degree of 
rarity, etc. I am therefore pleased to give here a rather 
lengthy but a complete lot of information which I have been 
able to gather and from which it will be readily noted that 
this coin is one of our greatest and most historically interest- 
ing numismatic rarities. 

The first published information regarding this piece is 
found in the report of the Committee on United States Coins 
of the American Numismatic Society of New York, as pub- 
lished by the Society in February, 1915, where a description 
and discussion is given of the only other known specimen, the 
one discovered and now owned by Mr. Waldo Newcomer of 
Baltimore. The Committee was composed of the well known 
Numismatists, Mr. W. H. Woodin, Mr. Wayte Raymond and 
Mr. Edgar H. Adams. Mr. Adams made an exhaustive study 
of the piece before making the report. Here is the portion of 
their report treating on this Brasher Doubloon: 

"A most noteworthy discovery during the present year 
(1915) has been made by Mr. Waldo Newcomer, of Balti- 
more, Md., and one which raises many interesting questions 



34 Brasher Spanish Doubloon. 

regarding the early coinage of the United States. Mr. 
Newcomer recently obtained a number of early Spanish 
and other foreign gold coins from a lady, who informed 
him that thev had been accumulated many years ago. 
Among these" coins was what purported to be a golden 
ounce or eight-escudo piece of Spanish issue, dated 1742. 

* * Cand here follows a description of the piece as given 
above). 

From a careful examination, it is certain that the whole 
coin design was entirely fabricated outside of any author- 
ized Spanish Mint, and the stamp of BRASHER N Y must 
have appeared in the original die, although the counter- 
stamp E B was added after the piece had been struck, and 
seems to be exactly like the stamps of this assayer which 
have been examined on the various Brasher doubloons and 
other gold coins, usually of Spanish or Portuguese origin, 
which have appeared from time to time. 

One of the first questions raised by the discovery of 
this coin is, did Ephraim Brasher, the famous coiner of 
the famous doubloon, operate a private mint in New 
York, at which he struck golden doubloons from dies made 
at his establishment? 

We are all very well acquainted with the New York 
doubloon, which is of entirely original design, and which 
related only to New York. In the past it has been thought 
by some that the weight of this later piece, which ranges 
from 406J/2 to 411 and a fraction grains, was reason enough 
to entitle it to be called a doubloon. * * * * So far no infor- 
mation has come to our attention that Brasher ever manu- 
factured doubloons of any kind on his own account, or 
that he had a private mint, but the existance of the piece 
just come to light would point to that conclusion. 

It is an undoubted fact that private persons, during the 
latter part of the nineteenth century DID OPERATE 
PRIVATE MINTS IN BALTIMORE and elsewhere. 
We have as authority for this statement the following ex- 
tract from a letter written by Henry William De Saussree, 
Director of the United States Mint, dated Oct. 27, 1795: 
"I understand that none of the laws of Congress have 
provided any penalties for the various offenses which may 
be committed against the coinage. In most countries strict 
laws are enacted, prohibiting the interference of individuals 
in this attribute of the sovereignty; and, in some, the very 
possession of dies or presses, or other implements essen- 
tial in the coinage is made criminal. In this country mints 
are said to be boldly erected at Baltimore and elsewhere, 
professedly to imitate the coins of foreign countries and 
to furnish a debased gold coin for the West India markets; 
and so much of the gold bullion which would be brought 
to the National mint is carried to these private establish- 
ments, which degrade our national character." It may be 
stated that this letter was taken from The American 
Journal of Numismatics, 1892, July, Page 13. 

We are also indebted to the same publication for another 
interesting reference to this subject, which is found in 
1892, July, Page 20, which states: "Brasher is said to have 
been a gold and silversmith, and probably a resident of 
New York; his name appears in the New York City Di- 
rectory for 1787 as a silversmith at No. 1 Cherry Street. 

* * * * He was employed by the authorities of the United 
States Mint in 1792 to make assays for the mint, 'on sundry 
coins of gold and silver, pursuant to instructions from the 
then Secretary of the Treasury (Alexander Hamilton.)' 
What those coins were it cannot now be definitely ascer- 



Brasher Spanish Doubloon. 35 

tained, but possibly he may have assisted Davit Ott, 
whose assay, in November, 1792, is on record. This was 
an examination' of 'French Guineas and Double Guineas,' 
so-called, and of English Guineas, Spanish Pistols, and 
Half Johannes of Portugual, of various dates, in gold, and 
of English and French Crowns, English Shillings, and 
Spanish Dollars, in silver; for work of this kind Brasher 
seems to have been well adapted. * * * 

It is not unlikely that the gold coins now known which 
show the counterstamp of EB, were some of the coins 
which Brasher assayed and stamped at the instance of the 
Secretary of the Treasury. This is somewhat supported 
by the fact that at the Zabriskie sale was cataloged a 
Half Joe of Portugal, in the center of which was a plug 
bearing the counterstamp of EB, the same as used on the 
New York Doubloon. Evidently the insertion of this 
plug of gold was required to bring it up to its proper 
value. * * * The question naturally is asked, if debased 
gold coins were being struck in American cities, and sent 
to the West Indies for circulation, why should Brasher 
place his name upon one of them, if the piece in question 
belonged to this class? It should be inferred that Brasher, 
having been authorized by the Government to make assays, 
had acquired a good reputation, and that the fact that a 
coin bore his stamp "E B" guaranteed its authenticity. It 
is also reasonable to conjecture that he issued this imita- 
tion of a Spanish piece, with his name and address in 
the die, for the express purpose of assuring its free circu- 
lation. * * * The discovery of this goldpiece, bearing 
the name and address of Brasher, is undoubtedly one of 
the most important of late years. * * * * " 

Through the kindness of Mr. Newcomer who owns the only 
other known specimen, and who submitted it to me for com- 
parison, I was able to carefully compare the two coins, and 
after a most minute comparison and examination I find that 
his specimen and the Ten Evck coin are of the IDENTICAL 
DIES. 

Another bit of interesting information and an opinion which 
I value most highly, comes to me from Mr. B. G. Johnson, of 
St. Louis, who is a recognized authority on this series, and 
whose knowledge of these pieces is unexcelled. I submitted 
the coin to Mr. Johnson for his frank opinion. Here is what 
he wrote me in response : 

"Dear Mr. Mehl: 

The Brasher Doubloon arrived today, and I have looked 
it over carefully, and have no hesitancy whatever in pro- 
nouncing it genuine and of that period. It was quite likely 
struck for the West India trade. In those days, sugar, 
rum, etc. being imported from the West Indies and gen- 
erally paid for in Spanish or Portuguese gold. In all prob- 
ability there was a shortage of this gold of regular coinage, 
and these pieces were struck to make up the deficiency. 
I would guess that the piece was struck before the other 
doubloon, probably at the very close of the Revolution. 
It is an extremely interesting coin, and by rights should 
be included in the American private gold series. There 
can have been no other object in stirking this coin in good 
gold except for to circulate as a medium of exchange. 
Brasher was a goldsmith, and probably struck these off for 
his customers when he could not supply them with doub- 



36 Gold Coins of Brasher. 

loons. Goldsmiths in those days operated to a certain ex- 
tent as bankers and as money changers. 

It is a very rare coin indeed, and if the hooked eagle 
Mexican doubloon in the Jenks Sale was worth what it 
brought, ($232.50), this is worth five times as much".

1804 Dollar. Draped bust of Liberty facing to right, LIB- 
ERTY above, date below ; six stars to right, seven to left. 
Border of beads, instead of the pointed milling. 

Reverse ; heraldic eagle with shield on breast, a bunch of 
arrows in right talon and an olive branch in left. E. PLURI- 
BUS UNUM incused, (stamped in), on ribbon. Thirteen stars 
about and over eagle's head. A band of clouds extending from 
wing to wing. Legend, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
Edge lettered, HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR 
UNIT. Proof; nearly in full brilliancy. Excessively rare and 
valuable. Plate. 

At one time it was claimed that twelve or thirteen original 
1804 Dollars were known. In the list of these coins, pub- 
lished some twenty years ago, in American Journal of Numis- 
matics, the Ten Eyck specimen was listed among them. How- 
ever, after careful comparisons and study of these famous coins, 
we find that while they are all of the same obverse die, there 
are two distinct different reverse dies. On the original speci- 
mens, or those claimed to be original and struck in 1804, the 
words STATES OF on reverse are evenly spaced between the 
eagle's wings, while on the second variety, the spacing is un- 
even, there being quite a bit more space between the last S in 
STATES and O in OF. This last variety is what is now 
known or termed as the Re-strike, — struck at the United States 
Mint in Philadelphia, from the original 1804 obverse die, but 
at a later date than 1804. The specimen here offered is of the 
second variety, but its rarity, considering the number known, 
is very high, as only three or four of this variety are known 
outside of museums. 

The specimen here offered appears to be of the identical 
die as the Lyman, Rosenberg and Idler specimens. The Lyman 
specimen was sold in 1913, (bringing $340.00), but the Ten 
Eyck specimen is of an earlier impression and is much stronger, 
with all stars on obverse and reverse well struck up, perfectly 
centered and in proof condition. Besides the Lyman specimen, 
I can find no record of another having been offered at auction. 



United States Silver Dollars. 41 

Mr. Ten Eyck purchased this coin about forty years ago. 
It was formerly owned by Dr. Henry R. Linderman, who was 
director of the Mints and Assay Offices of the United States 
from 1873 to 1875, and a great authority on coinage and assay. 

With this coin is an affidavit executed by Emily Linderman, 

which reads as follows : 

"State of Pennsylvania \ cc 
Monroe County J 

Personally appeared before me a Justice of the Peace 
in and for said County of Monroe, Emily Linderman, widow 
of the late Dr. Henry R. Linderman, director of the Mint, 
who being duly sworn according to law deposes and says, 
"that the said Dr. Linderman told deponent that he had ob- 
tained the 1804 Dollar in his collection, that it was an 
original, that it was of great rarity, there only having been 
twelve or fourteen struck, that it was one of the finest, 
if not the finest specimen in existence, that he had paid 
for it in installments, not feeling able to pay for it all at 
one time". He then showed the specimen to deponent 
afterward locking it in his office safe with his collection". 

(Signed) Emily Linderman. 
Sworn and subscribed before me this first day of July 
A. D. 1887. 

Charles W. Holbrook, 

Justice of the Peace. 

An interesting episode in regard to the question of the rarity 
of this variety of the 1804 Dollar, is the fact that the Idler speci- 
men, which is of the identical variety as this specimen, is claimed 
by Mr. Hazeltine, the veteran numismatist, to be an abso- 
lutely genuine specimen struck in 1804. However, with all facts 
before me and a careful comparison of the different dies, 1 
am of the opinion that the specimen here offered is of the so- 
called Re-strikes — from the original 1804 obverse die, the same 
as the Lyman, Idler and Rosenberg specimens. As there are 
only but five or six known in all, and of these, I believe, this 
is the only remaining one that is "purchasable", I consider it 
of great rarity and high value; worthy of a home in the most 
extensive and prominent collections of American coins. 

395 1836 Liberty seated to right, head turned to left, right hand 
resting on shield on which is a band inscribed LIBERTY; a 
staff with Liberty cap in left hand, date below; C. GOB- 
RECHT on base. Reverse, eagle flying to left, twenty-six 
stars, around, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Plain 
edge. Proof. Rare and in great demand. 

396 1836 Type as last, but the excessively rare variety, with C. 
GOBRECHT below base. Proof, partly wire edge, the first 
I have seen with wire edge. Excessively rare, only eighteen 
specimens struck. Plate. 

397 1838 Liberty seated as on last, but without C. GOBRECHT, 
and with thirteen stars. Reverse, as last, but eagle flying in 
plain field, no stars, milled edge. Brilliant proof. Excess- 
ively rare. Plate.

milled edge. Uncirculated, frosty mint surface. Very scarce.

515 1820 Large date, small 25 C. with period after C. Very fine. 

516 1821 Uncirculated, slight tarnish on obverse. Irridescent sur- 
face. Rare so choice. 

517 1822 Perfect die, close date. Uncirculated. Brilliant mint 
luster. Rare. 

518 1823 Over '22, as all are. A very good specimen of this ex- 
cessively rare coin, but unfortunately it is plugged above Lib- 
erty head, obliterating the greater portion of the 5 in 25 and C. 
However with this defect it is still a desirable specimen of this 
great rarity. Seldom offered in any condition. Plate. 

This rarity was purchased by Mr. Ten Eyck in 1887, from 
Chas. Steigerwalt, who wrote Mr. Ten Eyck at that time — 
"although it (the 1823 Quarter-Dollar) has a small hole above 
head plugged by some former owner, is one of the finest 
impressions of this date I have met with." 



United States Quarter Dollars, 1824-1852. 47 

519 1824 Over '22, as all are. Strictly fine to very fine. Reverse 
can be easily classed as very fine with some luster. One of 
the best specimens of this rare date that has been offered in 
some time. Rare and valuable so choice.

face on reverse. Rare so choice. 

The Exceedingly Rare Quarter-Dollar of 1827.

with but the slightest evidence of the rusted die. The fields are 
almost perfect. Perfectly struck and centered specimen. Ex- 
ceedingly rare. One of our very rarest coins, the value of which 
has not been appreciated in the past. This is the first speci- 
men that I am offering at auction or private sale since my sale 
of the Smith collection in 1915. Such collections as the Stick- 
ney, Earle, Granberg, Wilharm and Manning, did not have it. 
I doubt if more than six or seven specimens are known. Plate.

The Rare Martha Washington Half Disme. 

638-A 1792. Half Disme. Obverse, undraped bust, supposed to be 
that of Martha Washington, facing to left ; date below : Around, 
LIB. (erty) PAR. (ent) OF SCIENCE & INDUSTRY: Re- 
verse, small flying eagle to left, HALF DISME in two lines 
below: legend, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Silver. 
Milled edge. Reverse, slightly struck off center on lower por- 
tion : Obverse is nearly perfectly centered. Extremely fine, 
with some luster. One of the finest specimens I have ever 
handled. These coins were the first to have been struck after 
the establishment of the Mint. The silver for them was 
furnished by George Washington from his personal silver 
plate. Of historic interest. Plate. 

639 1794 Large Liberty head with flowing hair facing to right, 
LIBERTY above, date below. Seven stars on right and eight 
on left. Reverse, eagle with upraised wings standing on ground 
within a wreath; legend, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
Milled edge. Variety with star on right distant from bust, 
and the star on left between first two curls ; date widely spaced 
and low. About fine. Rare. 

640 1795 Same type as last. Variety with die break on obverse 
connecting TY and star. Date high and wide, 1 and 5 touching 
bust. Very fine, some luster. Rare so choice.

below; seven stars to right, nine to left. Reverse, small eagle 
on clouds within wreath, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

fine, nearly uncirculated, and as such very rare.

ted. Rare.

52 United States Half Dimes, 1802-1 8 %6. 

Lot No. 645. 

The Exceedingly Rare Half-Dime of 1802. 

1802 Draped bust of Liberty facing to right, LIBERTY above, 
date below. Six stars to right and seven stars to left. Re- 
verse, heraldic eagle with shield on breast, a bunch of arrows 
in right talon and an olive branch in left. Thirteen stars about 
head, a band of clouds extending from wing to wing; scroll 
inscribed E. PLURIBUS UNUM in eagle's beak; legend, 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Milled edge. The ob- 
verse can easily be classed as fine for coin. It is well struck 
and free from any nicks or dents. The reverse is strictly goou 
to very good. The coin is very slightly bent as is usual with 
many of these early Half Dimes. A most acceptable specimen 
of this great rarity. Worthy of a home in any collection. 
Plate. 

646 1803 Variety with die break at point of bust. Fine. Rare. 

647 1805 Extremely fine, with some original mint luster; in fact,

COINS OF NEW JERSEY 

INCLUDING THREE of the GREATEST RARITIES

ing, and playing on a harp, to left. A crown above and to left. 
Legend, FLOREAT : REX : Reverse, St. Patrick standing

Lot No. 760 

The "NEW JERSEY IMMUNIS COLUMBIA" CENT. 

1786 Cent. Liberty seated on a globe facing right, her 
right hand holds staff with Liberty cap and flag ; her left 
hand, extended, holds scales of justice: Date below: IM- 
MUNIS COLUMBIA. Reverse, a broad shield, nearly sur- 
rounding it, the legend, * E * PLURIBUS * UNUM *. Maris 
No. 3-C. Extremely fine, bold impression, with a beautiful 
even, slightly glossy, olive surface. A beautiful specimen of 
this great rarity of which only six specimens are known. From 
the famous Parmelee Collection. This is the first specimen 
of this rarity to pass through my hands. I am unable to find 
any record of a specimen having been offered since this iden- 
tical piece was sold at auction in the Parmelee Sale, over thirty 
years ago ! Such collections as the Stickney, Earle, Jackman and 
other great collections which were rich in rare Colonials, did 
not have a specimen of this rarity. Plate. 

Lot No. 761. 

The FAMOUS "NEW JERSEY WASHINGTON CENT." 

UNDOUBTEDLY the RAREST of ALL COINS ATTRIB- 
UTED to the AMERICAN COLONIAL SERIES. 

New Jersey: Cent: Bust of Washington with queue facing 
to right: legend, GEN. WASHINGTON. Reverse, a broad 
shield, around, * E * PLURIBUS * UNUM * nearly sur- 
rounding the shield. The reverse die appears to be from the 
identical die as that of the New Jersey Immunis Columbia 
Cent. Lot No. 760. Maris number 4-C. Fine. A pin-point 
nick in reverse field at right standard of N. Well struck.. Of 
greatest rarity. Plate. 

In describing this great coin in his excellent work on the coin- 
age of New Jersey, Dr. Maris states : "The ONLY ONE known 
to collectors, was found in Philadelphia, and is now (1880) 
owned by S. S. Crosby of Boston." The specimen here offered 
is the identical one referred to. On the box in which this coin 
was kept by Mr. Ten Eyck, there is the following notation: 
"H. P. S. (Harlan P. Smith), from P. (Parmelee) Sale, $250.00". 
In the famous Parmelee Sale this identical coin was catalog- 
ed as "No Duplicate Known." 

Since the discovery of this great rarity, about fifty years ago, 
this is only the second time that it is offered at auction, and 
has, apparently, only changed hands a total of three or four 
times. What a wonderful array of previous distinguished own- 
ers, Crosby, Parmelee, Harlan P. Smith, and James Ten Eyck! 
This in itself adds a luster of greatness to the coin. The last 
"record" for this coin, made over thirty years ago, is of course, 



Coins of New Jersey. 61 

no criterion as to its present worth. There is certainly no 
coin in any series which surpasses this Washington Cent in 
rarity; be it the Brasher Doubloon, the 1815 Half Eagle, or 
any other rarity with records well up in the four-figure mark. 
I am confident that the appearance of this great rarity on the 
market will be appreciated by the collectors and that its new 
"record" will undoubtedly have — in the words of one of my nu- 
mismatic "colleagues" — another cipher added to its last record. 

Lot No. 762. 

The UNIQUE NEW JERSEY CENT, MARIS 8-F. 

1786 Cent. Small bust of horse facing to right, a plow below. 
Legend, NOVA CAESAREA. The date, 1786 UNDER THE 
BEAM. The date curves upwards, period after CAESAREA. 
Reverse, large broad shield, rounded; legend, * E * PLURI- 
BUS * UNUM * nearly surrounding shield. Maris 8-F. Very 
fine. I doubt if the piece has seen very much circulation; an 
even medium olive surface and a fine bold impression. 
UNIQUE. From the Parmelee Collection. Plate. 

It appears that even Dr. Maris did not have a specimen to 
illustrate in his work. The illustration in his plate, as stated 
in the Parmelee catalog, must have been taken from a very 
bad casting, as it fails to show the beauty of this original. Even 
in 1890, thirty-two years ago when the Parmelee Collection 
was sold, this identical coin brought $212.00. "Another cipher" 
to this record would not be exceeding the true worth of this 
great rarity.

sively rare variety with last E in PLEASE close to star, and 
with three ornamental curves under III. The coin is very 
good with the exception of the word YOU which apparently 
was poorly struck and is hardly visible ; portions of the coin is 
fine to very fine. Crosby, Plate VIII., No. 24. One of the very 
rarest varieties of this excessively rare coin. Of this particular 
variety, I believe only two or three specimens are known. The 
only record I can find is of the one in the Gschewend sale, in 
1908, which brought $275.00. Plate.

the Parmelee collection, where it was stated that the illustration 
in Crosby, plate VIII. , No. 14, is of this identical piece. 

Crosby, on page 345, states that at that time, 1875, but one 
specimen was known in brass and that was owned by Mr. 
Parmelee, (this identical coin). However, since then, another 
specimen was discovered which was in the Charles Morris Col- 
lection and recently in the Jenks' sale where is brought $82.50, 
purchased by a dealer It is claimed by some that this coin 
contains the earliest display of the American eagle One of 
the most interesting of the early American coins. The second 
specimen to be offered in thirty years.

CUS 1787 EXCELSIOR. Crosby plate VIII. , No. 7, but on 
much larger planchet, size 30 mm. Planchet hammered a trifle 
too thin on right lower edge, preventing the tops of END from 
being as sharply struck as balance of legend. Uncirculated, 
with traces of red. Crosby, on page 322, states but three 
known. Excessively rare. Of those that have appeared at 
auction in the past thirty years, this is by far the finest. Its 
record ranges from $300.00 to $850.00. One of the real great 
rarities of this sale. From the Parmelee collection. Plate. 

LIBER NATUS LIBERTATEM DEFENDO, CENT.

impression, with even dark olive, slightly glossy surface. Well 
centered and free from any nicks or dents. Crosby, Plate VIII., 
No. 4. Of greatest rarity ; only about six specimens known 
and of these, most are forever removed from the market. Since 
the Parmelee Sale, I believe only one specimen appeared at 
auction, the one in the Jackman Sale, which was cataloged as 
better than this specimen, and which brought $470.00. Plate.

by, Plate VIII., No. 11. UNCIRCULATED, with traces of orig- 
inal red ; a beautiful even light brown surface. While this is not

XII for 12 pence: Legend, CRESCITE : ET : MVLTIPLI-

tremely rare and valuable. 

827 (1659) Sixpence. Same design and variety as last, but of 
course, with VI. on side of shield. Crosby, Plate III., No. 2. 
Extremely fine. Well struck and perfectly centered. Very rare, 
especially so choice. 

COINAGE of I. CHALMERS, ANNAPOLIS GOLDSMITH. 

828 1783 Shilling. Clasped hands within a small wreath; CHAL- 
MERS, ANNAPOLIS. Reverse, two doves pulling on worm, 
snake above, all within small circle of dots : Around, ONE 
SHILING 1783. Milled edge. Very good to fine. Rare.

Coins of New Hampshire and Virginia. 69 

The EXCESSIVELY RARE NEW HAMSHIRE CENT. 

831 (1776) Cent. Obverse, a pine tree, AMERICAN LIBERTY: 
Reverse, harp turned to left. Crosby, Plate VI., No. 3 When 
Mr. Crosby prepared his excellent work on the Colonial coinage, 
he only knew of one specimen of this rarity. The coin here 
offered is a much better specimen than the one illustrated by 
Crosby. I believe that this sepcimen and the one known to 
Mr. Crosby, which afterwards sold in the Stickney Sale, m 
1907, are the only two known specimens, and this by far the 
best. New Hampshire was the first State to consider a coin- 
age, after the Declaration of Independence. Excessively rare 
and of great numismatic and historical value. The specimen sold 
in the Stickney Sale, fifteen years ago, and the specimen now 
here offered, are, I believe, the only specimens which have ever 
appeared on the market. 

COINAGE of VIRGINIA. 

Lot No. 832. 

The EXCESSIVELY RARE VIRGINIA SHILLING. 

1774 Shilling. Laureated bust of George III. facing right: 
Legend, GEORGIVS. Ill DEI. GRATIA. The bust is much 
larger and of an entirely different design than that on the Half- 
penny. Reverse, crowned shield of arms dividing the date, 1774 
and VIRGINIA. Plain edge. Silver. Proof. Crosby, Plate IX., 
No. 4. Of excessive rarity. Only three specimens known. 
Since the Parmelee Sale, in 1890, only one of the three speci- 
mens appeared at auction, in 1908. It brought at that time 
$505.00; a record which I believe will be exceeded at this time. 
Plate. 

Lot No. 833. 
The ALMOST UNIQUE GLOUCESTER COURT HOUSE 

SHILLING. 

1714. Shilling. Obverse; a large five-pointed star in center; 
around, RIC(HARD) DAWSON. ANNO. DOM. 1714. Re- 
verse, view of Gloucester Court House: XII. for 12 pence, or 
shilling, below: Around, GLOVCESTER. CO (---) VIR- 
GINIA. Brass. The coin as a whole can be classed as very 
fair, but most of the legend is very good. Crosby, Plate IX., No. 
4. This specimen appears to be much better than the one 
illustrated by Crosby. On page 323, Crosby states that only 
two specimens are known, in the collections of George W. 
Cram, of Norwalk, Conn., and L. G. Parmelee, of Boston. This 
is the Parmelee specimen. No other specimens have come to 
light since the publication of Mr. Crosby's work, nearly a half 
century ago. This is the only specimen that has appeared on 
the market and here offered for the first time in thirty-two 
years. Its rarity and value is of equal rank with that of almost 
any of our very rarest and most valuable Colonial coins. Plate. 



70 Virginia Penny and Halfpenny: Washington Coins. 

834 Virginia, Penny, 1773. Laureated bust of George III. facing 
right, similar to but smaller than that on the silver shilling : 
GEORGIVS III. REX. Reverse, large crowned shield dividing 
date and VIRGINIA. Borders of dots; plain edge. Crosby, 
Plate IX., No. 10. Uncirculated, dark olive surface. Very 
rare, more so than is generally known 

835 1773 Halfpenny or Half Cent. Same type as last but smaller 
planchet and plain borders. Uncirculated, mint red. Scarce so 
choice. 

836 1773 Half Cents, as last. Fair and good. 2 pes. 

COINS with PORTRAIT of GEORGE WASHINGTON. 

Originally Designed for the United States Coinage. 

Lot No. 837. 

The EXCEEDINGLY RARE WASHINGTON 
CONFEDERATIO CENT, 1785. 

Washington Cent: 1785. Obverse, bust of Washington with 
queue facing to right ; around, GEN. WASHINGTON. Reverse, 
thirteen six-pointed stars within a radiant circle : Around, CON- 
FEDERATIO. 1785. Plain borders and edge. Very good, 
fairly strong impression ; even brown surface. Crosby, Plate 
VII., No. 14. This specimen by far excelling the one illlustrated 
in Crosby. ONLY TWO KNOWN, and this by far the finest. 
From the Parmelee collection. The other specimen appeared at 
auction some two years ago. This is the only record since the 
Parmelee Collection was sold in 1890. With the numerous great 
rarities in this wonderful collection, it is difficult to select any 
outstanding rarity, but considering the history of this piece, its 
superior condition to the only other known specimen, I con- 
sider it well worthy of a record well up in the four-figure mark. 
Plate. 

The WASHINGTON HALF-DOLAR in SILVER. 

838 1792 Half Dollar. Military bust of Washington facing to left, 
date below: G. WASHINGTON.. PRESIDENT. I. Reverse, 
small heraldic eagle with U. S. shield on breast, an olive branch 
in right talon and six arrows in left; fifteen five-pointed stars 
about its head. Around, . UNITED STATES OF AMER- 
ICA. Plain edge. The field in obverse, before bust, has very 
lightly scratched out, "June 1806." This is hardly noticeable. 
The coin as a whole is strictly very good ; the reverse being 
struck so boldly that it can be classed as fine. Crosby, Plate X., 
No. 8 ; page 357, No. 100. Excessively rare. Plate. 



Coins with Portrait of Washington. 71 

The WASHINGTON "NAKED BUST" CENT. 

839 1792 Cent. Nude bust of Washington facing to right, hair 
bound with ribbon; Legend, WASHINGTON PRESIDENT. 
1792. Reverse, small heraldic eagle, upraised wings, shield 
with only thirteen bars on breast; six five-pointed stars, three 
on each side of head; CENT above: Edge lettered, UNITED 
STATES OF AMERICA. Crosby, Plate X, No. 9. Extreme- 
ly fine, was struck as a proof and now has a beautiful even 
glossy olive surface. A magnificent specimen and of extreme 
rarity. Only about eight or ten known. The first I have ever 
offered. Plate. 

Lot No. 840. 

CURIOUS, UNIQUE "WASHINGTON" CENT. 

(no date) Obverse, laureated and draped bust of George III. 
facing to left ; GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA : Reverse, her- 
aldic eagle with shield on breast, an olive branch in right talon 
and a bundle of arrows in left ; scroll in beak inscribed, UNUM 
E. PLURIBUS. Above, ONE CENT. Obverse is with dotted 
border; reverse is with milled border: Edge is engrailed. 
Copper; size 31'/2 mm. Uncirculated; with glossy olive sur- 
face. The obverse is very slightly pitted. The reverse, while 
of the same type as the large eagle Washington Cent, Crosby, 
Plate X., No. 5, is of a slightly different die. The only refer- 
ence I can find regarding this curious coin is in Crosby, Page 
354, where it states, "a curious and probably unique medal 
with reverse A, is in the collection of Mr. James E. Root, of 
Boston : * * this obverse is illustrated in the Clay catalog." 
Plate. 

The Clay catalog referred to by Crosby is of the famous col- 
lection of Dr. Charles Clay, of Manchester, England, whose 
wonderful collection of American Colonial coins was undoubt- 
edly as a whole, the greatest aggregation of Colonial rarities 
ever brought together. The collection was cataloged by one 
of our pioneer numismatists, W. H. Strobridge, and sold in 
New York by Geo. A. Leavitte & Co. on Dec. 5, 6 and 
7, 1871. 

Fortunately, I have a complete plate, but only partially 
priced catalog of this famous collection, where I note this 
coin cataloged as lot No. 996, listed under the head of "COINS, 
MEDALS AND TOKENS RELATING TO WASHING- 
TON". Here is the complete description and notation as it 
appears in the Clay catalog: 

"LARGE EAGLE CENT, without date; obv. laureated 

head of George III. with long hair; "Georgius III Dei 

Gratia." Rev. same as one type of the Washington Cent, 

of 1791; edge engrailed; splendid altogether in design, exe- 

. cution and preservation. Size 20. 

NOTE. — We are under the impression that this piece 



72 Washington Coins : Americana-Confederatio. 

holds the first place in the heart of the present owner; he 
says, it is admitted by all who have seen it, to be unique, 
and has excited the envy of all the collectors in England." 

While I am unable to state whether or not the specimen 
here offered is the one from the Clay Collection, but after 
a diligent search through catalogs and records extending for 
a period of over half a century, I fail to find any other mention 
of this curious and great rarity. I feel quite certain that it is 
the specimen sold in the Clay collection, over fifty years ago ! 
My copy of the Clay catalog does not give the price this rarity 
sold for, but I unhesitatingly class it among our most in- 
teresting and rarest Colonial coins, and of the highest value.

facing left, seated on globe. In his right hand, a bunch of 
tobacco, his left resting upon shield; date below: AMERICA. 
Plain edge. Crosby, page 306, Fig. 50. Fine. While little 
is known of the history of this piece, but I believe it of much 
later period than its date. It does not have the appearance 
of an official or authorized issue and believe that it is of private 
origin for either speculative or questionable purpose. But 
since Mr. Crosby thought it worthy to be included in his ex- 
cellent work, it is usually placed with the Colonial series. 

U. S. A. BAR CENT.

UNITED STATES PATTERN COINS. 

"Pattern pieces represent one of the most interesting sections of the 
coinage of the United States. They embrace the many metallic attempts 
of the designers of the mint to produce a coin containing a new device, 
motto or plan of coinage. These pieces excite the warmest interest on 
the part of collectors, and a possessor of a fairly complete set of Pattern 
coins may be said to own a metallic history of the United States coinage." 

The "A-W" numbers refer to the wonderful book of Adams-Woodln on 
the Pattern Coins.

CONFEDERATE TOKENS. 



1088 1860 Token. Palm tree, cannon, "No Submission to the 
North." Reverse, a group of rice, tobacco, sugar and cotton: 
"The Wealth of the South." Size 21. Bronze, brass and nickel. 
Uncirculated. Very scarce. 3 pes. 

HARD TIMES TOKENS or JACKSON CENTS. 

These interesting tokens were issued and passed current in 1832 to 1841. 
Their issue was prompted by the Currency question, which was then a great 
political issue. Nearly all bear inscriptions politically significant. 

Numbered according to Mr. Low's work on the subject, 1899 and sup- 
plement 1906. 

The following collection of Jackson Cents is one of the most 
complete that has ever been offered. From what I can learn, 
Mr. Ten Eyck purchased this collection in its entirety. One 
gentleman informed me that this is the famous Colbourne 
Collection, purchased by Mr. Ten Eyck about 1879. 

1089 (1832) Low No. 1. Head of Jackson to right, ANDREW 
JACKSON: Reverse, wreath enclosing, in six lines, THE 
UNION MUST AND SHALL BE PRESERVED: Around, 
THE BANK MUST PERISH. Milled edge. Extremely fine, 
but unfortunately holed at top. An even light olive surface. 
Excessively rare. 

1090 L. No. 1 in white metal, numbered Low 165. Same general 
type as last, but the head is of an entirely different die. Re- 
verse is also of a different, although slightly, die. Planchet 
is a trifle larger and thicker; the milled borders are much 
broader. Holed at top, I believe as issued. Uncirculated, 
with mint luster. Classed as Rarity 8. Although it is men- 
tioned in Mr. Low's work, I can find no record of its previous 
sale, and I have never before seen nor heard of another speci- 
men. While I would not classify this specimen as unique, but 
I doubt very much if another is known. Plate. 

1091 L. No. 4. Laureated and draped bust of Jackson. Reverse, 
"We Commemoat The Glorious Victories Of Our Hero In 
War & In Peace." Brass. Very fine. Rare.

on breast, "The Glory and Pride Of Our Nation". Pin point 
nick on obverse and small nick on reverse. Fine. Some of 
the original silver plating still showing. Very rare. 

1102 L. No. 15. Similar to type No. 13, but of a different die. Ex- 
tremely fine, with some mint luster. Rare. 

1103 L. No. 16. Bust to left, "Gulian C. Verplanck Our Next 
Govnr." Reverse, similar to last. Uncirculated. Rare, es- 
pecially so choice.

1107 L. No. 19. STRUCK IN SILVER. Slightly larger planchet 
than the copper specimen ; borders slightly raised and partly 
milled. A beautiful strong impression, practically uncirculated, 
with mint luster. Believed to be unique. I do not recollect

of CURRENCY. Extremely fine. 

1143 L. No. 62. STRUCK IN SILVER. Type as last, but bolder 
impression. This piece must have been carried as a pocket 
piece, as it shows a little wear, and owing to its bold impres- 
sion, this wear is more noticeable, especially on reverse, where 
the word EXPERIMENT on the ship is practically worn off or 
was not struck up. Otherwise the coin can be classed as very 
fine. Believed to be unique! In Mr. Low's work on these 
tokens, it is mentioned, "This number (62) was also struck 
in silver, and like its companion No. 19, probably on the same 
occasion, and it is believed to be unique." 

As usual, I will undoubtedly receive a number of inquiries 
as to what I think this number, as well as L. No. 19 in silver 
and L. No. 1 in white metal, will bring. It is a very difficult 
matter to estimate just what such rarities will realize.. If 
these numbers are unique, as I believe them to be, they are 
as rare and as valuable as any token of the series, one of which, 
No. 152, was recently purchased by me for stock at $560.00. 
However, since these numbers are not specifically different 



92 Hard Times Tokens or Jackson Cents. 

types but are varieties of metal, I do not consider them as 
valuable as a distinct different type. But I do believe them 
to be of the greatest rarity and worthy of a record up in the

rounded by four circles of figures and inscription, the first by 
the sun and the moon and seven figures representing the 
planets ; in next circle, the twelve figures of the Zodiac ; in

6 mm. thick ; weight 165 Pwt. The edge is slightly nicked but 
both the obverse and reverse are entirely free from any nicks

classed as strictly fine while the reverse is of much stronger 
impression and is easily very fine. Exceedingly rare. To the 
best of my knowledge this is the first specimen offered in 
this country in the past twenty-five or thirty years. I am un- 
able to even find it in some of the very largest European auc- 
tion catalogs. It is the first of the large silver coins ever struck. 
I consider it by far the rarest coin of the foreign section of 
this wonderful collection, and one of the very rarest coins of 
the world.

AMERICAN MEDALS. 
RARE INDIAN PEACE MEDALS. 

Lot No. 2439. 

The EXCEEDINGLY RARE "HAPPY WHILE UNITED" 

MEDAL. 

1764 Medal given to Indian Chief. Obverse, about half-length 
bust, young type, of George III., in high relief, facing to right, 
laureated and wearing wide band of ribbon from left shoulder 
across to his breast: Legend, GEORGIUS III, D. G. BRI. 
FRA. ET. HIB. REX. F. D. 

Reverse, an Indian Chief, on his left an officer, both seated 
on a bench ; the officer wearing a cocked hat of the period, the 
Indian holds a long pipe in his left hand, with his right he 
graps the hand of the officer. A large tree at Indian's right : 
Legend, above, HAPPY WHILE UNITED. Below, the date, 
1764. In field, directly above the officer's head, is stamped 
in an incused punchmark, N : YORK. Directly to right, in 
another smaller horizontally oval punchmark is counterstamped 
DCF, (initials of artist or silversmith.) The loop for suspension 
is formed of an eagle's wing and a pipe. Silver. Size 55. Made 
by casting and then chased. Betts No. 511. Unknown to Le- 
roux, — not in his work. Of greatest rarity. 

This specimen has apparently been worn considerably by its 
original owner, the Indian Chief, who received it. However, 
the legend, date and principle features are all very plain. Also 
fortunatly, it is free from any serious scratches or defects. 
Its general even evidence of wear lends an interest or enchant- 
ment to it, proving as it does of its absolute genuineness and 
previous ownership by one of the great Indian Chiefs. It is of 
the greatest rarity and of utmost historical as well as of numis- 
matic interest. This is the first specimen that has ever been 
handled by me. I know of only one other, of slightly differ- 
ent variety, having been offered at auction, but of this partic- 
ular variety, I can find no record of another specimen. 



172 Indian Peace Medals. 

LARGE GEORGE III. INDIAN MEDAL. 

2440 (1762). Obverse, youthful bust of George III., facing right, in 
armor, wearing ribbon of the order of the Garter ; seven rivets 
on the front of the breast-plate ; the hair in a single large curl 
over the ear. Legend, GEORGIUS III. DEI GRATIA. Die 
break across right shoulder and half way toward I in GEOR- 
GIUS. Reverse, oval shield of arms, in high relief, within Garter 
surmounted by a large crown, and supported by a lion on left 
and unicorn on right : HONI. SOIT. QUI. MAL. Y. PENSE. 
Below on a ribbon, the motto, DIEU. ET. MON. DROIT. On 
the right of ribbon, a thistle ; on the left a rose. Borders are 
plain, slightly raised, similar to "wire edge." Small hole at top, 
as issued, where loop has been removed. Size 79. Betts No. 
437. McLachlan No. CCXCII. This medal was supposed to have 
been struck for distribution among the Indian Chiefs of Canada 
at the close of the French and Indian War. Usual light nicks 
and few scratches; very small portion of obverse field slightly 
eroded, but as a whole shows little wear. An imposing medal. 
Excessively rare. 

UNIQUE INDIAN MEDAL. 

2441 1776. Silver medal of George III. Youthful bust of the King 
in armor, facing left, draped ; hair tied with bow, and flowing 
locks below: GEORGIVS. TERTIVS. REX. Reverse, Bri- 
tannia standing, facing, with staff and cap in right hand, left 
resting on cornucopiae, anchor and shield at her left; reclining 
lion at her right ; FELICITAS BRITANNIAE. Below, date, 
in Roman letters, MDCCLX. The entire medal is encased or 
framed in a heavy circular copper frame with raised borders ; 
the inner border is milled while the outer border is plain. In 
the margin, on the copper frame, is engraved, in script letters, — 
"To John Oteronghyanente, a faithful Mohock Warrior. 1776." 
The silver medal is size 41, while the complete medal with frame, 
measures 70 mm. The loop is of wire soldered to the edge of 
the frame. Apparently this medal must have been found in a 
grave, as the silver part shows signs of having been buried 
quite a long while. Lightly scratched on obverse, but as a 
whole can be classed as about fine. As far as I know, and have 
been able to learn, this medal is unique. Have never before 
heard of this particular type of Indian medal nor can I find any 
mention of it in reference works relating to the subject. I con- 
sider it doubly interesting due to its odd and curious variety 
as well as to its historical and numismatic interest.

hundred and twenty-five different cities and I believe that the
